I like that first article. I've thought along those tracks before in a more rudimentary way. This article was pretty thorough though and went a lot further.

I've often wondered for example: So a person loses their parents (they died), the economy sucks so every day life is hard, more and more people suck every day so there's less people around worth befriending etc.

You are sad, feel like you don't have the energy to keep fighting the financial tide, and you are lonely...so some doctor diagnoses you with chronic depression and throws a bottle of pills at you.

You are slapped with an official mental condition that needs medical treatment...when it's only natural to be sad after your parents die, when it's only natural to feel like you are drowning in a collapsing economy, when it's only natural to feel lonely when the quality of people around you are of such low character that they aren't worth befriending.

There are many things in life that are natural to feel and have direct cause and effect behind them, but are treated or waved away as some broader diagnosis or mental health condition. This keeps a lot of people from truly being able to heal and improve, because they are focused on the wrong things.
